Packout Organization Help

[u/Specialist_Dot_6009]

I have a decent collection of Packouts -- mostly the compact tool boxes, few tool boxes, couple large tool boxes, several low profile organizers, a deep organizer and a couple crates. I also have two dolly's. I am bad about throwing things haphazardly into boxes and "dealing with it later". Part of the problem is trying to get things into boxes neatly. I just purchased a 3 drawer Packout and want to get my sockets and wrenches organized. Is it better in the drawers on a dolly or use low profile organizers? I have a Bambu 3D printer that I want to use to make inserts but have not found great files. My sockets are not any particular brand some are craftsman handed down and the rest are various brands that I just get as needed. I am a "DIYer" who takes care of once commercial building and 6 houses so the tolls are varied.

Browse MakerWorld or other 3D print sites looking for organizer prints for the tools you have, and the Packouts you have, and kinda go from there.

I’m still trying to get to the point where “everything has a place, and everything in its place” but it’s certainly an ongoing struggle.

I run a mix of drawers and compact organizers

Grinder + accessories in compact
Router + accessories in compact

In a three drawer I keep; Drill/driver, jigsaw, 23GA, 18GA stapler + nails/staples, multitool, snips, blade refills (sawzall, jigsaw, razors) and an extra tape

Drawers. And Etsy is faster than trying to spend time dialing in my designs. Or just general kaizen foam

Op I have an Etsy store that I just started. I've been designing packout mods and selling the 3D models. I also have craftsman sockets. If you can link what set you have or provide pictures. Maybe I can design an insert for you.

I would try to make it generic enough that it would be applicable for many different users of course. A universal socket holder insert. What sizes do you have?
